“I’m a couch guy, babe.” – Benny Blanco, probably.
Okay so imagine this: you just dropped a fire album with Selena Freakin’ Gomez, the girl who survived Disney Channel, Justin Bieber, and the Met Gala without a single scandal. The fans are screaming. The group chats are popping. The tour buses are ready. And Benny Blanco is like… “LOL, no.”
Yes, Benny “beat-making baddie” Blanco—age: 37, vibe: grandpa trapped in a millennial body—has officially said absolutely not to doing live shows for their album I Said I Love You First. And honestly? King behavior.
In an interview on the “Hot Hits with Nic & Loren” podcast (aka the unofficial therapy session for celebs with stage fright), Benny basically screamed, “GET ME OFF THIS STAGE!” He said performing live feels like “his worst nightmare,” and that anytime he has to appear on shows like SNL or the AMAs, he’s just counting down the seconds ’til he’s back in sweatpants binge-watching The Bear.
“I just want to be home on my couch.”
—Benny Blanco, live from his emotional support sectional sofa.
Let’s be real—while Selena is out here serving glam and world tour fantasy, Benny’s probably Googling “can I wear pajamas to a red carpet?” and ordering UberEats like it’s an Olympic sport. Introverts of the world, this is your man.
Also, in case you’ve been living under a rock (or worse, don’t follow celebrity couples like it’s your full-time job), Benny and Selena have been doing the cutie-couple thing since 2015 but went public-public in December 2023. They even slapped an engagement ring on it shortly after. Ugh, goals.
And just last week? Benny was out here talking about making lil’ Benny-Gomez babies. Tour? No. Diaper duty? MAYBE.
Anyway, if you were hoping to see them live, sorry bestie—looks like the only show you’re getting is Benny live from his living room, surrounded by snacks and emotional damage.
